Chioggia:†¯This morning, you'll admire the greatest sites of charming and coastal Chioggia; sometimes called "Little Venice† at the southern end of the lagoon. This picturesque fishing village is a popular place for artists where the seaside air and sweeping views are simply spectacular.   From here you will have a number of morning & afternoon tour options to choose from:

Morning choice:  

Option 1: Chioggia market visit:  
Chioggia is the quintessential Venetian Lagoon fishing village. Founded in the fifth century, it was known as the pantry of Venice because of its many small truck farms, which supplied Venetian households with produce until just a few decades ago. It is still a thriving fishing port; its wholesale fish market is one of the largest in Italy. On Thursdays, Chioggia also hosts Corso del Popolo†”a dynamic outdoor market along its main thoroughfare where stands sell everything from clothes, shoes, purses, gadgets and "every-day† domestic items. Locals usually do their shopping here as prices are more affordable than retail shopping.   We join our resident foodie Naomi as we join the locals for a morning excursion through these beautiful local markets.  

Option 2: Let's Go: Biking Chioggia:  
Set off on a light bicycle ride along the beaches of Chioggia, an island often described as a second Venice in miniature. Head to Lusenzo Lagoon, break to see the fishing boats, and then continue to Isola dell'Unione.

Afternoon Choice  

Option 1: Bragozzo ride of the Po Delta & Tenuta Ca' Zen
Board a genuine Adriatic wooden sailing boat, a bragozzo, to take in the island of Chioggia from the clear blue waters of the lagoon.   Experience a ride through the canals for a guided exploration of the Islands and wildlife of the Po Delta. After your sailing, return to shore for a visit to Tenuta Ca' Zen, a beautiful Venetian villa with a fascinating story. Here, you can explore the expansive grounds, antique stable, and more.

Option 2: Castello del Catajo  
Set off for the Euganean hills to discover one of Europe's most majestic castles the Castello del Catajo. Here, enjoy a guided tour of a palace so beautiful that it became a resort for the Habsburg Dynasty before being returned to Italy following the first world war. After marveling at its frescoed walls, continue for a guided walk around its beautiful gardens or take some free time for yourself to explore as you please before returning to the ship.

Watch a glass-master shape beautiful works of art in their Murano workshop. Before you leave, take some time to roam around the factory's gallery to view works in a wide variety of styles†”from tableware to sculptural, traditional to modern. You can even purchase some for yourself to bring a piece of Murano to your home. Explore more of the Island on your own before returning to the ship for lunch.  

This afternoon we sail to the magical Island of Burano where we will dock for Shabbat.   Hot pink, chartreuse, orange, lemon yellow†”Burano's brightly painted fishermen's cottages are an artist's dream. Burano is known for its lace-making tradition, handed down from mother to daughter since the first workshop was set up at the end of the 16th century. After lunch we stroll into town to appreciate this charming island for an afternoon of exploring and what we consider to be the best shopping in all the lagoon. While you're here, you'll visit a historic lace-making atelier to see some of their delicate work and shop for some of the world's most stunning linen and lace.

Venice Walk with Gondola Artisans Visit: Get an early morning start to see a side of Venice most of the tourists miss†”The Dorsoduro. One of Venice's six main sestieri, or districts, The Dorsoduro is quieter than some of the more popular districts and thus has an authentic, easygoing atmosphere. Enjoy a walking tour around this picturesque side of town before moving on to visit a gondola artisan. See the craftwork that goes into Venice's iconic sailing vessels and meet some local masters at work.

Here you'll find violet artichokes from the nearby island of Sant'Erasmo, honey from the salt marshes, white asparagus from Giare†”and Venetians shopping for their dinners in the historic heart of the city. Join them as you explore the colorful, noisy, and fun arcades with your guide (the ship's chef and our resident foodie will accompany us on this expedition), who knows Venice's culinary arts intimately. Freshly caught local fish is sold to knowledgeable customers under the Gothic arches of the covered fish market, which was probably originally built in the 11th century. At the end of the tour, you should have plenty of time for some last minute shopping or even a gondola ride.
